system extension.
Fault tolerance
Each board supports fault tolerance and foolproof.
The I/O interfaces should have visible marks and fault tolerance to avoid misplugging.
If the signal source is lost or the format is improper, the display screen will become blue. The
screen will resume to a normal state when input proper signals.
Fault tolerance for software code.
Fault tolerance of update failure.
High stability and reliability
Characterized by modular hardware structure, Digicom Ark 3300SP Multi-screen Processor’s
system power supply, system fan, power fan and all boards support hot-plugging. So the failure or
abnormity of other modules except the system controlling panel won’t affect the normal running
of other modules in the system. The system supports automatic service recovery. The users can
replace the signal input board or processing board when the system is running, and restore the
normal signal window display before replacing the board. In addition, the system can monitor the
real-time temperature of air inlet, outlet and key spots in the processor, meeting users’ special
requirements on reliability and stability.
